If you're talking about the long narrow black box that has about 5 different mirrors across the top front of the windshield at different angles, I haven't seen one of those in about 20 years.

I figured if anybody would have one, it would be JCWhitney, but this 17" x 3" is the biggest they carry:

BTW, this should probably have been posted in the ICE & Interior section.

In 1982 my roommate in college had that mirror in a lowered, flared, built 1972 Datsun 510. Those mirrors are definitely old school!

At 34-1/4" wide it will be about 6" short of the A-pillars on each side, if you center it.

That's OK, you don't want it to interfere with the side curtain air bags if they ever go off.
